Is this deep enough to grow peas in

[suzan]

I have kelvedon Wonder peas sowed and they grow 2-3ft so i would like to know if this would fit the bill for them to grow in, its the 4ft one and is 6" deep (or would the 2ft x 4ft one be ok cos of the room it will take up) This is my first time of growing peas and i dont have room in my garden to grow them there, thats why i am looking at a raised table.

I'd say just.... but watering will be non stop in drier weather.

I'm sure someone will be along to say how wrong I am

yes but it was a general question about growing peas in a container in a greenhouse, and was told i could grow them on a raised table, now i am asking about the sizes.

Barely deep enough. Will be very expensive peas...

I think i will go for the deeper one then that is 12" deep, and yes will be expensive peas lol

I've recycled some old wooden drawers (no rude comments please!) as planters! Drilled drainage holes in the base and stood them on a base made from pallets. Never grown peas in them though but I am growing peas in flower buckets

My pea containers are 9" deep so 12" should be plenty.
